After falling behind and losing a man to a sending off, Uli Hoeneß reckoned Bayern and their fans could be "very satisfied“ with Saturday's 1-1 draw away to Borussia Dortmund. "We've played more than an hour with ten men, so it rates as a very good display, especially in the second half,“ Hoeneß reasoned. Coach Jürgen Klinsmann was similarly happy: "The team reacted superbly to the sending off. The job now is to take all three points next Sunday.“

Reaction to Dortmund v Bayern:

Uli Hoeneß: "We can be very satisfied with a 1-1 draw after going a goal and a man behind. We've played more than an hour with ten men, so it rates as a very good display, especially in the second half. After conceding the goal and the sending off we were shocked at first. After we re-organised at half-time, we played a very decent second half. We've taken a point and that's OK.“

Jürgen Klinsmann: "The team's coming together all the time. Obviously we wanted to win and we've only taken a point, but with ten men it was totally deserved. It was an emotionally-charged and thrilling match. The job now is to take all three points next Sunday. The team reacted superbly to the sending off. We sat down at half-time and agreed we had to attack, we wanted to put Dortmund under pressure. What the lads achieved in the second 45 minutes was sensational. We deserved to come away with a point.“
